As other comments have said, the café has a good vibe & products are of good quality. However, prices are very expensive for what it is (e.g., the iranian breakfast is $16 or so when there's 2 slices of cheese, some honey & a few slices of bread & veggies, & cappucino is $7). You can't use laptops on all tables so ask your waiter first!

Superbe découverte! Les breuvages & la nourriture sont à la fois magnifiques & réconfortants. L'omelette de montagne est à tomber parterre. Je recommande fortement d'essayer cette immersion dans la cuisine perse.

I got the mocha & a roast beef sandwich with no tomatoes & it was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is so chic & very cozy. I love the vase by the ordering counter & I want to take it home but I cannot 😔 but it's a very beautiful place 10/10 recommend!!!!

Highly recommend breakfast at Aunja! I had the vegetable omelette with cheese (extra charge) & it was delicious. My first time trying Iranian bread & it did not disappoint. The flat white was top notch as well. I gave four stars because the service was slow, but that's because they were absolutely slammed (& I see why!).
